Congress  Rajya Sabha MP Renuka Chowdhury  has filed a privilege motion against Union Minister Kiren Rijiju for positing a video where he said, “Despite such vexatious laugh by Renuka Chowdhuryji, Prime Minister Narendra Modiji did not get irritated.”

Renuka Chowdhury said: “This is highly objectionable, and I have filed for privilege.”

Prime Minister Narendra Modi  took a dig at Renuka Chowdhury, saying her laughter reminded him of epic serial ‘Ramayana’.

While replying to a debate on the motion of thanks to the President’s address in the Rajya Sabha, the Prime Minister claimed the concept of Aadhaar was mooted in 1998 by the then home minister LK Advani, who spoke about a universally used national identity card.

As Modi sought to shear the previous Congress government of the credit for Aadhaar, Chowdhury burst into a guffaw, drawing disapproval of chairman M Venkaiah Naidu.
